Flocking Day

I’m flocking
the logo and I’ll start flocking the skirt today too. I’ve never flocked before
so I’m kind of excited like a kid with a new toy. The dress is very close to
being finished, it’s scary. The final touch will be the yellow cording. It’s
been a long build, this one.

Yesterday
morning I went to meet Rich, the mystery man. What a disaster. He’d ask me a
question and then interrupt my answer after just a few words to talk about himself.
He did that three times, and he’d start talking about one thing and then move
to another and then another and another. It was painful.

When he went to
show me something on his phone, I noticed his screenshot is a photo of himself!

I left him and
went for a walk. It was fourteen degrees and I loved being warm and listening
to the birdsong. Then the rain came later but today I turned on the lights, lit
some pine incense and blissfully finished the skin of the dress.

I liked the
rain today. It’s lovely to be warm, dry and cozy but to have the windows wide
open. The air smelt sweet and on Easter Monday; even the city was quiet.

I cancelled my
dates in the PAL Theatre. It’d be too much pressure.

This morning I
see Dr. Shoja before I experiment with the flocking and tonight I go to John
and Bunny’s for dinner. Today is John’s seventieth birthday. It’s the second of
three decade birthdays I am going to this week: Larry’s was Sunday night and
Allan’s is this coming Sunday.

Then on
Tuesday, my friend Beth arrives from Toronto. She’ll be here for a week then
again for a few days so I’ll likely be altering the pearl dress instead of
starting on dress number ten. And oh the joy… I’ve reconnected with a former
high school chum, Wendy, and we are super compatible. She’s funny, bright and
very creative. We’ve already had two “dates.”
